SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you decide what to build next, in what order, and under what conditions, so delivery stays unblocked and coordinated.

Core Features & Use Cases

Roadmap Sequencing: Prioritizes work by dependency, readiness, and release status.
Blocker Analysis: Identifies spikes, open decisions, and hard dependencies before implementation starts.
Parallel Work Planning: Splits or serializes work to avoid merge conflicts and wasted effort.
Session Cost Estimation: Sizes work into Small, Medium, or Heavy delivery sessions.
Engineering Handoffs: Produces precise briefs with scope, risks, files, and verification gates.
Use Case: Use this Skill when a feature is stalled, when you need the next unblocked task after a merge, or when you want a clear implementation brief for an engineer.

Quick Start

Use the technical-lead skill to review the roadmap, identify the next unblocked plan, and draft an engineering brief for implementation.

FAQPage Schema

How do I prioritize my roadmap and identify the next unblocked delivery task?▼

Roadmap prioritization evaluates dependencies, readiness, and release status to sequence delivery and identify the next unblocked unit of work. It reviews existing roadmap and plan files to determine which tasks are ready for implementation without hard blockers.

What is the best way to prepare an engineering brief for an implementation session?▼

Engineering briefs are prepared by defining scope, risks, target files, and verification gates for the next delivery step. The brief provides branch-aware handoff details so an engineer can begin implementation immediately with clear acceptance criteria.

How does blocker analysis work before starting feature implementation?▼

Blocker analysis identifies spikes, open decisions, and hard dependencies that must be resolved before implementation starts. It ensures that unresolved technical questions or external requirements are addressed upfront so delivery remains unblocked and coordinated.

Can I use delivery planning to split work and avoid merge conflicts in parallel sessions?▼

Delivery planning splits or serializes work to avoid merge conflicts and wasted effort across parallel sessions. It evaluates branch awareness and task dependencies to determine which units of work can safely proceed simultaneously without overlapping file changes.

How do I estimate the session cost or size of a backlog item?▼

Session cost estimation sizes backlog work into Small, Medium, or Heavy delivery sessions based on the complexity of the implementation. This categorization helps allocate appropriate engineering time and resources before beginning the actual development work.

When should I not use automated delivery sequencing for my software engineering backlog?▼

Automated delivery sequencing is not suitable when roadmap files are missing or when spikes and open decisions remain unresolved. It requires reading existing plan files to resolve dependencies beforehand, so unstructured or undocumented backlogs will not yield reliable prioritization.
